Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a 30mx30m airtight chamber. Entrance to the chamber is to have a decontamination chamber and guarded by 2 armed guards armed with flamethrowers at all times. The inside of the chamber is to be checked for any breaks or breaches in the wall and is to be repaired on sight. While this procedure is taking place SCP-XXXX is to be kept at bay, in its small 2mx2m glass cage, using a flamethrower.

SCP-XXXX is not to be fed any human tissue, bone marrow, tarmac, fruits or vegetables, any animals and wooden substance and in an attempt to consume any of these items, SCP-XXXX is to be doused with flames and any substance is to be taken from the chamber and decontaminated.

Experiments conducted on SCP-XXXX are to be permitted by 05 Member [REDACTED] and 4 armed guards must be present in the chamber, armed with flamethrowers and level 4 hazmat suits, at all time. Experiments may not last longer than 10 minutes and after all subjects involved and equipment on them must be decontaminated.

Description: SCP-XXXX appears to be a humanoid shape of tar, crude oil, bitumen and carbon of varying size. A singular eye floats around where the head would be and a mouth of razor sharp teeth a long tongue, similar to that of a human, inside. SCP-XXXX is capable of speech though no for of throat of trachea is present. SCP-XXXX's voice is deep and cruel, although he finds it difficult to talk due to his own mass sliding in front of his mouth.

SCP-XXXX has been tested and shown to be highly radioactive and toxic. All human or animal subjects who have been let within 10m of SCP-XXXX have shown signs of choking or even unconsciousness. SCP-XXXX is afraid of flames and shows high levels of distress when presented with an open flame, this has been discussed and the conclusion has been that it is due to its flammable components. SCP-XXXX gains more mass the more it consumes, its method of consumption being absorbing the object.
10 seconds after the meal has been consumed SCP-XXXX will show signs similar to heart burn before growing in size depending on the amount of substance consumed.

SCP-XXXX was found in [REDACTED], Wales after a farmer reported all his sheep were dying and the ones who lived died slowly after, almost choking to death. A embedded agent had caught wind of this and Foundation staff were brought on site to follow the cause. Eventually SCP-XXXX had been found in a cave where it had been feasting on a large brown bear. Foundation personnel were killed and after 3 attempts Squadron 1439 (Black Rock) contained SCP-XXXX.
